Recovering missing artifacts from configurations

When a team works in multiple configurations, if change sets are delivered between configurations that conflict, data inconsistencies can occur. To fix those inconsistencies, you can recover the artifacts in a configuration manually.

Problem

When working in a configuration management enabled project in which there are multiple configurations, data inconsistencies can occur if there are conflicts when delivering changes. This could make it seem like artifacts have disappeared from the configuration.

Solution

  1. From the Administration menu, click Mange Project Properties.
  2. Click the Configuration Management tab.
  3. Under Recover Resources, click the Recover button.
Tip: You must complete the recovery process during off hours when other tasks or process are not running as the recovery process might take long time for completion.
